Public Funding for Citi Logik Limited

"Citi Logik will be using anonymised mobile network data (MND) from Vodafone and the latest generation of pollution sensors to map the movement of people around Worcester City Centre against pollution levels of a key pollutant (nitrogen dioxide) in real-time. For the pilot project, we will be using 4 sensors at key locations and mapping this data against MND on the Citi Watch online portal. These sensors will be procured from EarthSense, a market leading provider of pollution sensors. EarthSense Zephyr sensors are lightweight, robust and cost-effective and provide data in real-time. This will enable Worcestershire County Council, Worcestershire Regulatory Services and other key stakeholders to monitor levels of air pollution across the city in real-time for the first time, whilst allowing measures to be taken to mitigate the impact on the population of Worcester, as well as implement new air quality management measures. The effectiveness of any mitigation strategies will be assessed in real-time. We will be working with the Transport Systems Catapult to assess the impact of any changes in air quality measured during the study period and the potential health benefits to the citizens of Worcester. Should the proof of concept prove to be successful, we will be working with our partners to investigate how this idea could be developed into a more rounded commercial offering to be used more widely in Worcester as well as in other cities in the UK and internationally. We believe this to be the first service of its type."

Citi Logik: Development of CitiWatch Professional for Connected Transport

The project aims to build the UK's first Real-Time Train Capacity Platform which will be made available to passengers and industry staff to help them better plan their journeys and management processes. It aims to equip passengers with better information regarding the onboard conditions of incoming trains and intends to equip TOCs and station staff with real-time capacity information. "When a passenger is more informed of the capacity conditions of a train in advance of boarding it, they are then able to better plan their journey. They have the choice to wait for a quieter train, with available seats or travel outside of peak hours. We believe we will witness changes in passenger behaviour, demand shifts between peak and inter peak" - Transport Systems Catapult "Using our expertise in analysing anonymised mobile network data (MND), Citi Logik will count passengers phone signals on trains and alert passengers, through our platform, on how busy the rail route network is in real-time. We believe that this information will also help station staff in managing unforseen busy periods" - Citi Logik Ltd

Citi Logik, an SME that analyzes aggregated and anonymised journey paths from the existing mobile phone network, is proposing to develop a repeatable virtual technology platform linked to an advanced telecom 3G/4G/5G sensor network. It will do this with the support of Vodafone Enterprise UK. This platform will be capable of analysing movement by vehicle, on foot or by train in real time and will help us understand peak demand, network capacity and operational efficiency through a detailed analysis of flow and mode, across the UK. The context for this project has recently been reported in the Policy Exchange insight on 'Smart Devolution', which in turn draws learnings from current best practice in New York City. These reports highlight that most cities have vast quantities of data that if accessed and used effectively could help improve public services, optimise transport routes and even prevent cycling accidents. The most significant point is that the mobile phone network is the best public asset, as yet never deployed comprehensively as a system, to analyse traffic movement in real time. The proposed service is a real time extraction of fully anonymised data from the Vodafone Network in compliance with UK Information Commisioner Officer Guidelines and EU Privacy Laws. It creates a structured and secure database environment which is then interrrogated to understand actual journey times, road capacity constraints, and journey time reliability. The capabilty was demonstrated in 2012 for improving network capacity and resilience in a very successful experiment as part of the Transport for London Co-operative Systems trials. As part of this trial Citi Logik demonstrated real time capabilities of data sets to predict journey time reliability. Citi Logik also has an emerging programme of work with UK Local Authorities, UK core cities and UK airports to use the proposed capabilities to replace traditional roadside survey techniques. We have already held discussions with a number of potential customers, including Transport for Greater Manchester and the Welsh Government, regarding the potential deployment of a real time service from April 2017. This proposal is offered by an SME (Citi Logik Ltd), based in Tech City, working in close co-operation with a UK Mobile Operator (Vodafone) for the purposes of creating public good from the mobile network. Significant communciation efforts have been completed to share and communicate these ideas with UK Privacy Groups and Vodafone UK Customers.
